Summary
About Welsh Springer Spaniel
Medium, athletic red-and-white spaniel from Wales, bred as a steady gundog. Affectionate, people-focused and often strongly bonded to one person. Needs substantial daily exercise, training and mental work. Sensitive, generally healthy, with a weatherproof coat that enjoys mud and water.
About Norwich Terrier
Norwich Terriers are small, sturdy, confident terriers with prick ears, a foxy, alert expression and a harsh, weather‑resistant coat. Bred as farm ratters, they remain lively, curious hunters, need regular exercise, mental stimulation and moderate grooming, and are generally long lived.
